Sankofa Day and Performance w/Adalia

A unique blend of history, dance, and culture this workshop will conclude with a short performance by the attendees. We will focus on Bachata, Salsa, and Kizomba using the Ghanian principle of Sankofa, "taking from the past what is good & bringing it into the future."

There will be food and drinks provided during the studio workshop. Comfortable attire and shoes should be worn. Some dancing maybe in bare feet. People are encouraged to use the breaks for stretching, eating, and dancing as music will be played.
